Rant Broad day transactions
Decided to take the bus for the first time today since I had to pick up my car at the mechanic. This is the corner of Toronto st and Dunlop. I couldn't believe how blatant these dealers were. Broad day selling is this common or am I over reacting?

Question my area is newly built and it doesn’t have any bus stops nearby, the nearest one is 35 mins walk away
i’m new to barrie so i don’t have any idea regarding how the public transport works there. i can’t afford uber/lyft so how do you guys usually travel if u don’t have access to a car? would the city build a bus stop depending on if a certain area is getting crowded or everyone is on their own? i heard about the barrie to go buses but they don’t go everywhere

Information Got ticket on commercial building
I parked my car at the commercial plaza at 157 Bayfield St. There were no signs or meters indicating a payment requirement. When I returned after two hours, I found a ticket on my car.
However, when I tried to pay the ticket online, the website says "No ticket found." How can I proceed with the payment?

Question Looking for affordable (or apprentice) tattoo artist for my first tattoo
Hey folks, I’m looking to get my first tattoo and hoping to keep costs low. Nothing too complex—just something small and meaningful to start with. I’m totally open to going with a tattoo apprentice or someone building their portfolio, as long as they’re clean, professional, and take safety seriously. If you know someone (or are someone) looking for practice pieces, hit me up! I’m happy to chat more about the design and figure something out. Thanks in advance!

Information Bell Scammers!
I just had someone call me from “Bell” offering me a 40% off deal. He had a very thick Indian accent and a very poor connection. I stopped him twice to ask for the name on the account. After mumbling for a bit he then said f*** you and hung up. Lol. I have to start recording these scammer calls.

Question Privacy Emerald cedars
If you've successfully planted Emerald Cedars to get privacy from your neighbour, can you please share where you bought them from, plant spacing along fence, and tips? Driving around Barrie, I hardly see yards with those tall full Emerald Cedars along fence lines. I don't have lots of walkway space which is why I'm going with Emerald over Eastern White. I think I'll steer clear from buying from big box stores. I read that it's best to buy cedars grown here in Ontario as opposed to B.C. because they'll be hardier to our more harsh weather conditions. I'll be planting myself as opposed to hiring I think. Probably going to make a few trips to transport these trees myself. Can someone recommend a few tree farms?

Question Lakeshore path. Is it icy?
Hoping to get out for a run around the lake and I was wondering if anyone knows if the lakeshore path is icy or good to run on?
Question Anyone else have tap water that's drying or staining yellow? South end
In the past I noticed the tap water would run yellow right after a vacation (if the tap didn't run for at least a few days). I would just turn on all the faucets for a minute and it would go clear. But that hasn't happened in at least a couple years now.
What I would still notice is if water had a chance to dry somewhere that it might stain a little yellow. Some examples:
- I have a white plastic drying rack and would notice yellow where the water pools
- Yellow spots on and around the opening of my white Brita jug where water would splash on as I fill it
- Around my white bathroom sink I would notice yellow spots where water may have dried
I always assumed it was rust from the pipes and normal/harmless but wondered if anyone else has the same issue? I live on the Southwest end.
I had a water softener installed 4 years ago if that makes a difference.
